Big Journalism's coverage of the wedding website ruling is missing a key element: the entire case is apparently built on lies if not outright fraud, as a single outlet -- the New Republic -- discovered at the last minute.

To acknowledge this, of course, would be to admit utter failure by news orgs (except one) to do even a tiny bit of due diligence.

And what about the plaintiff lawyers? Shouldn't there be sanctions at least in lower courts?

Not too late to do journalism on that, anyway.
